Differential gene expression during porcine conceptus trophoblastic elongation and attachment to the uterine epithelium

The objective of the present investigation was to utilize the GeneChip Porcine Genome Array from Affymetrix possessing 20, 201 unique probe sets to identify differentially expressed genes during rapid trophoblastic elongation and attachment to the uterine surface in the pig. Identification and characterization of conceptus gene expression patterns during rapid trophoblastic elongation and attachment in the pig will provide a better understanding of the events required for successful implantation and embryonic survival.
